#Project #14 Title: Awde · አውደ Project Description: Most learning platforms have students read and answer multiple-choice questions which is good for building recognition, not real understanding and none of them explain concepts through the student's own cultural lens. Awde replaces passive textbook reading with active, culturally-grounded mastery. Students explore interactive mind-maps of a topic, where every concept is explained through a localized Ethiopian analogy — e,g: a Jebena coffee ceremony for thermal equilibrium, Equb savings for the First Law of Thermodynamics, the GERD's turbines for the electron transport chain. Then they have to prove they actually understand it: teaching the concept back, in their own words, to Rooty — a strict AI Socratic peer who grades clarity in real time, flags unexplained jargon, and keeps probing until the explanation genuinely holds up. Beyond the Feynman arena, Awde includes active-recall quizzes, a full deep-work suite (Pomodoro, the Blurting Method, spaced-repetition flashcards), and a Method Laboratory that measures each student's real before/after recall improvement — so it's not just a study app, it's a way to find out which study method actually works for your brain. Fully bilingual (English ⇄ Amharic) across every screen, analogy, and quiz. No login or API key required to try it. it runs with offline fallback generators out of the box and uses a 3 step fallback for the AIs gemini, groq, nvidia nim(all free tiers) Website link: https://awde.onrender.com/ YouTube Link: https://youtu.be/LNA-xsSipv4
